Embracing a classic European-style influence, Nha Trang Cathedral’s stunning architecture work stands still as a historical witness to Christianity in Nha Trang. The stone church never fails to attract visitors.
Nha Trang, famous for its poetic and beautiful seascapes or unique landscapes, is also known for its impressive spiritual architecture work. In particular, the stone churches.
In the 1880s, France established a colonial government in Nha Trang. They built a temporary chapel on the beach of Nha Trang to meet the religious needs of parishioners and French officials. Currently, it is the territory of Nha Trang Bishopric. The greatest contributor to the construction of this cathedral was the French parish – Louis Vallee.
Construction of the Stone Church in Nha Trang officially began on September 3, 1928. When the French arrived in Nha Trang, they cut the Hon Mot mountain in half and leveled the land with 500 anti-personnel mines to free up an area of 4500 square meters for the construction of the church.
On May 14, 1933, Nha Trang Cathedral’s grand opening was held. In 1934, a devout woman in Saigon presented a bell to Ambassador Dreyer and she was given the name Teresa of the Infant Jesus. However, the bell tower was not opened until December 3, 1935.
Nha Trang Cathedral is the oldest church here – over 80 years old. It is the combination of uniqueness and luxury. The church has various names. It is located in Nha Trang city, so it is called Nha Trang Cathedral – the most popular name. When you reach Intersection 6, people call it Nga Sau Church because the cathedral is nearby. The church is also known as the Stone Church in Nha Trang. However, its official name is the Christ the King Cathedral.
